Peer-to-peer network over wifi in iOS

Question

I\'ve been at this for a few days now, and can\'t seem to find a solution. I want to create a peer to peer network over wifi on iOS. All open source code seems to be supporting

Answer 1

You cannot create a wi-fi network programmatically in iOS using current APIs. GameKit offers some APIs to do so over bluetooth however.

If you wish to implement a custom solution using CocoaHTTPServer, be aware that you will still not be able to create a direct wi-fi connection, you will simply be able to connect devices on the same (pre-existing) wi-fi network.

Ad-hoc peer to peer Wi-Fi (such as 802.11s) in iOS is still a few years off. Maybe iOSX ;)
